Lily Potter – 2019
Lily Potter strode confidently into the Great Hall, dragging her best friend Hugo by his hand. She had been waiting for this day ever since she saw her brother James board the scarlet train. When her Hogwarts acceptance letter arrived a reply was sent off within 6 seconds as it had been sitting on the kitchen counter for weeks. She rushed off to get her robes and books and most importantly her 10 ¾ inch unyielding Laurel with unicorn hair core wand. She hadn't let go of it since.
Lily looked around the Great Hall trying to absorb every single thing; she wanted to remember this moment forever. As she was scanning the hall, something caught her eye. As she turned in its direction she saw James, Louis and Fred holding a red and scarlet flag reading 'Lily Potter' giggling she waved. She couldn't wait to sit down and be draped in it as she knew her brother would do. She looked around for her other brother and saw him deep in conversation with Rose, there was no use trying to get his attention for when he a Rose started talking, there was no stopping them. As she was about to wave to her other cousins a voice caught her attention,
'Potter, Lily'
Lily gave Hugo's hand a quick squeeze and whispered 'see you in Gryffindor' before confidently strolling up to the hat. As soon as the hat was put on her head she began to speak to it.
Listen, you ARE going to put me in Gryffindor.
Wow, you really are your mother's daughter.
What?
She demanded that she be put in Gryffindor too.
Okay, well seeing as we are so alike I should be in Gryffindor just like her.
And what if I say you're a better match for Ravenclaw?
You can watch as the teachers try and drag me kicking and screaming to that table. I am sitting at the Gryffindor table. End of.
You're very brave to be talking back to me when I decide where you end up…
I know. I'm brave just like a Gryffindor. Look I'm tired of beating around the bush, just say I'm in Gryffindor, you and I are both aware that it is where I will end up.
I can see no reason why you wouldn't fit in Gryffindor; you truly are your mother's daughter, and your namesake's granddaughter. So Lily Potter go and join 'GRYFFINDOR!'
Thank you.
Try and keep that temper under control young Lily, although when it comes to James, it's perfectly understandable.
And so Lily Potter jumped off the stool and headed straight for the Gryffindor table where she ran straight into her big brother's arms. Albus and Rose both enveloped her in a hug and Dominique patted her on the head whilst she passed her. Molly hardly looked up from her book to offer her congratulations and Roxanne ad Lucy where too busy having an argument with a 5th year prefect about proper etiquette at the dinner table. As Lily sat down squeezed between James and Louis she felt the flag being wrapped around her shoulders where it remained for the rest of the night and would later be pinned above her bed in the dorm to prove how true a Gryffindor she was.
